"Energy". This could be about the right word, when I look after 20 years the works of Arben Kucana. This "property" from him at an early stage, to the academic period (in this period after his sudden I saw him more energetic emigration), I could superficially be described as "creative snobbery," a quality of all the talented students. Such a definition after many years, where time loses its weight in an upside-down film montage should mean an unforgivable naivety, not only for us who know him and met as before, but also for the sober academic criticism. Solemnity of movement, cerebral analysis, fracture hedonistic, rational coincidence formal monumentality, minimal graphics: this, not even to mention other feelings come into my mind while I look at his works.

Only a "vigorous" no talent and "youthful" can also be controlled within a relatively compressed period of creative about 2 months a density of plants with such expressive aesthetics.

The 60 works will be exhibited for the first time in 20 years at the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Tirana. This hospitable gate was not open accidentally for his flight and his return. This work is a particularly tantalizing challenge for us who know him and where he has been missing for two decades.
